If you say so. Some safety inspectors are on the job. Well, working for free for the moment.

Not sure how they can do that without violating the Antideficiency Act.
Besides, the House has already voted 407 to 0 to pay government workers their back pay for the furloughed time, it isn't like they would be working for free anyway:

Government contracted private firms and their employees aren't covered and may not be so fortunate.

Though the house bill seems to have hit a snag in the Senate:
